BFSC: Silk Flowers

Happy Friday!

The HEAT won last night!  YES!!! 

I root for all teams New York but I wanted LeBron to get that monkey off his back.  I'm happy for him, D Wade and the rest of them...even Juwon Howard. 

Congrats to the Miami Heat and all the Miami Fans! 

I wish I was in South Beach to party with you all!

This is gonna be a great weekend.  I am on tap for some retail therapy in my home city...

the great NYC!  Yayyyy!!!  I am hoping to get some pics in...we will see.  I am a bad blogger when it comes to that.  I will try my best.

Today's installment for Jasifer's Big Fat Summer Challenge is to mark something I wouldn't normally wear off the list.  The funny thing about this challenge is that a few thing that I wouldn't normally wear was already on the list.  So I had to find something else.  The good thing is that with my style evolution since the inception of this blog, that list is getting smaller.  Woohoo!

Printed or floral pants/jeans is something I normally wouldn't wear.

And another one down!

I didn't wear printed pants before because I thought my thighs were to 'voLUMPtous' to bring any attention to them.  Well, I am over it and I better be because short shorts are up next I think...lol.

I recently thifted these silk floral pants for $5 I almost let them go but I said to myself "Why not?"

because the floral print is trending big time.  Then I thought it went perfectly with this top I thrifted some time ago.  I am pretty sure it was less than $5 (I have a hard time spending more than $5 on a piece...lol)  I was going for the jumpsuit look.  A few folks at work thought it was and I was like...YES!!! LOL

I paired the silk flowers with an also thrifted tangerine silk button-up shirt for some color.

This shirt can also be see here.

Woop woop! I can't say it enough how grateful I am for starting this blog and gaining some great inspiration from my fellow bloggers.  It has really given me the umph I needed in my personal style!

Floral & Stripes

Happy Friday Fashion Friends!

Just a quick post today.  I have a few things going on this weekend so hopefully I will be good blogger and wear things worth posting later on.  Today I was supposed to do a print mixing lesson but I did not prepare my lesson. I wanted to use examples from some of my favorite bloggers but I didn't take the time to find the pictures needed.  I will do it soon.  Until then here is an outfit that I rocked to work earlier this week that incorporates the floral and stripes trend.

Have you guys noticed how I am putting good use to my striped tank? 
I am gonna get another one because I love it and it is definitely a staple in my wardrobe.

Linen Jacket: Walmart (had it FOREVER)    Floral A line skirt:  Thrifted    Striped tank: H&M 
Shoes: Michael Antonio 'Taini' via Hautelook   Watch: Tony's Fossil   Random accessories

You can tell when I do after work photo shoots...I don't have but a few pics because I am too tired to be out there too long. lol.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Thanks for stopping by.

Stay fly and stay tuned!
